Clean and Simple Sketch

I randomly happened upon a sketch that I took a picture of with my phone so that I could use it.  But of course in my phone I do not have the address of the blog so I spent too much time today looking for it.  Don't you just love how you can accidentally stumble on to something so perfect and then never find it again?  Well I did eventually find it and the sketch is from Clean and Simple Stamping and Natasha shared the great sketch.  Here is what I did:

I have had this one rose floating around on my stamping desk for several months just asking to get used on something.  So I finally got it on a card.  The oval is from the Newsprint DSP.  it is a very clean and simple card, letting the rose shine through.

Stamps:  Fifth Ave Floral, Bella Toile BG

Ink:  Perfect Plum, Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink and Rose Red

Paper:  Shimmery White, Very Vanilla, Regal Rose, Perfect Plum, Newsprint DSP

Accessories:  Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Whisper White embossing powder

Birthday Party Try Outs

We have a birthday coming up so we are starting the design process for the birthday invites, decorations, favors and such.  This was a color combo that was not a winner for my almost 9 year old daughter.  I was bummed because I really liked the way these colors turned out.

This is just a real simple little party favor.  This is the Box #2 Die for the big shot.  I just simply stamped the birthday bakery hostess stamp set repeatedly along a strip of whisper white cardstock so that the cakes go all the way around the box.   So we are back to the drawing board when it comes to colors.  She is not liking anything we put together. 

Stamps: Birthday Bakery

Ink:  Basick Black, Melon Mambo, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, and Wild Wasabi

Paper:  Whisper White, Real Red and Pumpkin Pie

Tools:  Big Shot, Box #2 Die

Diva Coffee Break Designs # 216

I’m back again with another Diva Coffee Break Design color challenge! It is a really pretty color combo today.

I admit I don’t use blushing bride much, ok so hardly ever. I just forget about it. It really is such a pretty shade of pink. Today’s card is so simple but I really like it. It is funny how this one simple card took so long for me to actually make. Do you find it hard to make a clean and simple card?

Hop on over to the Diva Coffee Break Design Blog to check out the rest of the amazing samples!

Have a stamperfic day!
